Document processing for maritime and ocean shipping

Turn ocean bills of lading, cargo manifests, and bunker delivery notes into structured data - containers, ports, parties, and quantities - through a REST API or a simple upload.

Documents from quay to consignee

Ocean bills of lading

BL number, shipper, consignee, notify party, port of loading and discharge, vessel and voyage, container and seal numbers, packages, weights, freight terms

Cargo manifests

Vessel, voyage, BL references, full container list, commodities, weights - as one table across every page

Bunker delivery notes

Vessel name and IMO number, port, supplier, fuel grade, quantity, density, sulphur content, delivery date

Arrival notices & delivery orders

ETA, container numbers, charges, release and pickup details

From ship's papers to your platform

  • Describe the fields you need for each document type in plain language - no template per carrier or agent.
  • Send documents through the upload API, email, FTP, or cloud folders. Foxello reconstructs long container tables across pages.
  • Poll the status endpoint or receive a webhook when data is ready, then pull JSON, CSV, or Excel into your system.
Manifests that run for pages: Container lists that span dozens of pages come back as one continuous table - every container, seal, and weight in order.

Per page, from upload to structured data

Measured end-to-end processing time per page. No templates or training before the first document.

The ocean runs on documents

Every port call generates paperwork on all sides: bills of lading for each shipment, manifests listing hundreds of containers, bunker delivery notes for every fuel stem. Carriers, NVOCCs, agents, and terminals all need the same data in their own systems, and much of it still arrives as PDFs and scans.

Foxello extracts header fields and full container tables without a template per shipping line or port agent. Bills of lading from different carriers come back in one consistent structure, so downstream systems don't need special handling for each source.

Bunker figures feed fuel reconciliation and emissions reporting, where a misread density or quantity carries real cost. Every field gets its own confidence score, and uncertain values go to Review Hub for a person to confirm before they export.

The API is built for integration: upload a file or a URL, poll status, download structured JSON, or get a webhook on completion. Documents are processed and stored in the EU and never used to train models.
